LightWrap is an After Effects plugin by Vankul, sold through aescripts, that helps keyed footage sit naturally inside a new background. It wraps light from the background around the edges of your foreground subject, which sells the composite and hides the cut out look. It suits compositors and editors on Mac who place people or products into scenes and want believable edges without a long manual setup.

Key Features

  • Creates light wrap without precomposing your layers
  • Apply it to the foreground layer and pick the background layer as the light source
  • Both layers stay live, so animation and background changes update automatically
  • Includes a wrap based on image brightness for more accurate edge light
  • Adds glow controls for a softer, brighter edge
  • Includes directional wrap for light that should favour one side of the subject

How to Download

  1. Use the download button on this page or find the product on the aescripts store.
  2. Download from the official site and complete your purchase there.
  3. Install it with the aescripts manager app, then apply the effect to a foreground layer in After Effects.

FAQs

Is LightWrap a standalone app?

No. It is a plugin for Adobe After Effects, so you need After Effects installed on your Mac to use it.

Is LightWrap free?

No. It is a paid plugin sold through aescripts with a single user license.

Why does light wrap matter in a composite?

Real scenes spill light from the background onto a subject edges. Adding that wrap makes keyed footage look photographed in the scene instead of pasted on top.
